3. Define your Beams/Columns (Define -> Section property-> Frame Sections)

Press Add new Property

Choose section shape

Name the section

Choose material (4000psi)

Define Dimensions

Press Modify/Show Rebar button -> If its a column, you can choose the
reinforcement, and choose to be checked, or leave it as default and choose

Choose section type (Beam or Column)

FOR BEAMS (Special Purpose): Set Modifiers as shown

FOR COLUMNS (Special Purpose): Set Modifiers as shown

Repeat steps for as many beams/columns as required

4. Define your Slabs (Define -> Section property-> Slab Sections -> Add new Property)

Modeling type (Shell - Thin)

Type -> Slab and choose required thickness.

FOR SLABS (Special Purpose): Set Modifiers as shown

5. Define your Walls (Define -> Section property-> Wall Sections -> Add new Property)

Modeling type (Shell - Thin)

Choose thickness.

FOR SHEAR WALLS (Special Purpose): Set Modifiers as shown

Make sure you select the correct type of adding, depending on modeling choice.

6. Realistic View: To get a visible view of the building components while drawing, go to
(View -> Set display options -> check (Object fill + Extrusion)

7. Start drawing columns (Draw ->Draw Beam/Column/Brace -> Quick Draw Columns)
then select the previously defined Column from the (Property Drop list).

And start placing them on the Master story. Or by dragging the cursor over all the
nodes which have columns to be placed on them

8. Draw the beams (Draw ->Draw Beam/Column/Brace -> Draw Beams/Columns/Braces)


then select the previously defined beam sections from the (Property Drop list).

Start drawing the beams extending from corner to corner, depending on required design.

IMPORTANT NOTE: after youre done drawing Columns and Beams, It is essential
to release the moments at the end of continuous beams, to make them semirigid.Being Fully Rigid decreases the negative moment at the middle supports,
which results in wrong design.

The Solution is to release the edge moments, and apply them as a point Moments.
As shown in the following diagram.

which is done by selecting the continuous beams which have fixed ends, and going
to (Assign -> Frame -> Release ->

Then select the end (Points) and go to (Assign -> Joint/Point Loads -> Force ->
select LIVE -> Fill in MOMENT GLOBAL XX AND YY, with M =

Where w is the standard live load which you transfer on the beam as KN/m. (THIS
MOMENT IS RELATIVELY SMALL, AND THIS STEP CAN BE PARTIALLY
NEGLECTABLE IF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH EDGE REINFORCEMENT YOU
SHOULD USE)

9. Draw the Slabs on the plan view (Draw -> Draw Floor/Wall objects -> Quick Draw
Floor/Wall) then select the previously defined slab from the (Property Drop list). And start
placing them on the Master story. And fill the openings with the Opening Property
from drop list.. Or use the mouse dragging method to draw multiple Slabs on all Areas
within the selection.

10. Draw the Shear walls on the plan view (Draw -> Draw Floor/Wall objects -> Quick Draw
Walls) then select the previously defined wall from the (Property Drop list).

Dont draw beams and columns; in the same places you draw shear walls.
Overlapping causes wrong designs.

Further Modeling Notes:-

11. Meshing: An important Slab related modification is called Meshing which is breaking
the slab into small segments, to get a more accurate analysis and for the finite element
method to act correct. This is done by (Select -> Select -> by Object type -> Floors ->
Select -> close) then (Edit -> Edit Shells -> Divide Shells -> change the numbers into 4
by 4 Areas.

Assigning Loads on model

12. Define Loads: Go into (Define -> patterns)

Dont change the dead and live load, (dead load will be automatically calculated by
ETABS, and live will be assigned manually by us).

Add a new kind of load by writing into the empty box (Super) and Choose (Super
Dead) from the drop list -> set weight multiplier to 0 -> press Add/new Load.

Add another kind of load called Wall with same options as Super.

Press Ok to close the window.

13. To add live load, check the local standard depending on the building purpose. And
follow these steps:

(Select -> Select -> by Object type -> Floors ->Select -> close)

(Assign -> Shell Loads -> Uniform)

Load case: Live -> Load = from standard (ignore number is the picture) ->
Direction: Gravity -> Ok.

14. To add wall load, calculate the wall load per meter, and apply it as follows:

Wall Load per meter = 1.7 Ton/m3 x 9.81 x Story height x Wall thickness = KN/m.

(Select the beams that have walls on them).

(Assign -> Frame loads -> Distributed)

Load case name : Wall -> Load = Wall Load per meter ( calculated, ignore number in
picture)

Meshing the Shear walls

19. Meshing the shear walls is very important for a more realistic
analysis, and effective design, it requires some effort to be
done, but can be fairly easy using these steps:

(Select -> Select -> by Object Type -> Walls -> Select)

(View -> Show selected objects only)

Go to 3D view

Use the cursor and drag to select all the shear walls in
the drawing

(Edit -> Edit Shells -> Divide Shells -> change the numbers into 3 by 1 Areas.)

After meshing all the walls, go to 3D view; select all of the walls near each other,
(walls that transfer loads to each other vertically), by dragging across them as
shown in the picture

(Assign -> Shell -> Pier Label -> select P1 ->Apply -> Ok)

Repeat these steps for other wall collections required and assign them to new
Piers as well (example P2, P3 etc.)

Once done(View -> Show all objects)

Assigning Diaphrams

20. Assigning Diaphram is a meant to make a single story rigid, to transfer lateral load
through all of it sides, such as wind load or seismic load.

(View -> set 3D view -> Press xz -> (Aperture = 0)

Select the first floor from dragging the cursor from left to right, as shown.

(Assign -> Shell -> Diaphrams -> D1 -> ok)

Select the second floor similar to method used


for first floor.

(Assign -> Shell/Area -> Diaphrams -> Modify


show definitions -> Add New Diaphram-> Ok -> select the new created Diaphram
-> then Ok)

Repeat for desired number of stories.

When you have two or more separate structures, with some floors separated.
Make sure you do the assign floors as different Diaphrams

Correct Diaphram

Wrong Diaphram

Offsetting and Rigidity Modifications

21. When drawing beams/columns/walls/slabs they are drawn from center line to center line,
which makes an overlap whenever two sections are joined. To fix this we apply the
following:

(Select -> Select -> All)

(Assign -> Frame -> End (Length) offsets.)

Leave the default setup as it is

Press Ok

22. In real life, the beams and columns arent 100% fixed; they have a limited degree of
flexibility which ETABS doesnt consider unless we change the following.

(Select -> by Line object type -> Beam -> Ok.)

(Assign -> Frame -> End (Length) offsets.)

Change the Rigid Zone Factor to (0.5).

Press Ok

Auto line constraint

23. It is essential to merge the mesh lines in order to transfer loads equally in a realistic way,
therefore this step should be done in the end before the start of any analysis.

(Select -> Select -> All)

(Assign -> Shell/Area -> Auto Line constraint)

Leave the default setup as it is

Press Ok

Sequential construction

24. In real life, construction of the building is done on steps, usually (floor by floor), so the
appliance of load isnt sudden, to simulate such real life case, we add a sequential
construction case by:

(Define -> Auto Construction Sequence case)

Check the Replace Dead Type Load cases with this load case. As True.

Press Ok.

The Analysis

25. Once done of the all the steps, you can start running the analysis.

(Analyze -> Run Analysis)

This may take several seconds to minutes.

(Design -> Concrete Frame Design -> Start Design/Check)

(Design -> Shear Wall Design -> Start Design/Check)

(Detailing -> Start Detailing)

Once done, you can show the following results:o

Show deformed shape due to any load case or combination you choose

Right click any beam in the model, to view, Shear/Moment diagrams. And
observe the maximum values, and design for them.

Show result tables, and generate a report of them.

Display ratio of steel required in each reinforced beams, shear walls, and
columns

Display suggested sections for steel beams.

Display maximum deformations.

Display Slabs Stress diagrams as a contour sketch.

Display detailed shear wall reinforcement and rebar spacing.
